Default Spring Fitment??

Hi peeps.

I've got some new Teins s techs springs coming next week.

I just wanted to know if this is an easy job for a simpleton like me with basic tools, or is it best to leave it to the pros.

Any advice or walkthroughs welcome.

thanks in advance.

Struts off and with spring compressors it's easy with the right tools. Personally I make a call to Brent

Really simple to do with the right tools. Geo will be needed after though as you need to remove the Standard camber bolts on the front strut / hub assembly. If doing the job yourself it might be worth marking the top bolt of the two's position before taking them out.

I'd take it down to Brent personally if you haven't got a set of spring compressors and you're a novice with the spanners like me

Thanks for the reply guys, I'm not the greatest with the spanners so I think a call to Brent is in order.

Thanks again.
